Huge Golden Lion alert for Laura Poitras’s incredible ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED. I doubt I’ll see a better movie this year #Venezia79 #VeniceFilmFestival

ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED is a knockout in oh so many ways. Can’t imagine there will be a better film this year. My @indiewire review https://t.co/ivWH9fgcWd #Venezia79

ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED: a steely and robust documentary filmmaker and the art world’s most anarchic photographer come together to create a devastating tableau about addiction, families both found and inherited, and the way loss shapes our emotional and political drive.

It's a pity I have zero time to write reviews on the Lido due to my @giornate work, because I would have gushed over Laura Poitras' phenomenal All the Beauty and the Bloodshed! Best film in competition for me so far. #Venezia79 #NanGolding

All the beauty and the bloodshed – sehr gelungenes Porträt eines aktivistischen Lebens, zum Glück macht Poitras selbst keinen Aktivismus draus. Aber sehr viel Nan Goldin ist schon mal immer gut.#Venezia79 pic.twitter.com/eBjpu2UytP

I don't really understand the praise that Laura Poitras' All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is getting at #Venezia79… It's a very okay film. In terms of filmmaking, it's a mess – scatter-minded, jumping all over, has no flow, lacks energy. Worst of all, it's two distinct stories.
